I warmly welcome this invaluable reprint of Hugh Alexander Boyd’s book. Even as a youthful scholar his careful and detailed record still stands the test of time and will cast light on many things relating to the Church of Ireland, not only in the Ballycastle area but in many other parts of Ireland.
The Reverend David Edward Ferguson, Rector of Ramoan and Culfeightrin in 2011
 
In addition to its careful and detailed attention to the history of the Church of Ireland, the book also notes the terrible events of 1641, and how the ancient Church of St Eraclasius became the earliest Presbyterian place of worship in the area, and the erstwhile Vicar Daniel McNeile (also spelt McNeale) became minister of what was later to become Ramoan Presbyterian Church.
The Very Reverend Dr Godfrey Brown
Moderator of the General Assembly, 1988-89, Minister of Ballycastle Presbyterian Church 1964.
